Housing Codes City and county housing codes are designed to keep neighborhoods in decent, safe and sanitary condition. The housing code sets the rules for basic upkeep and maintenance for decent housing. These rules are designed to prevent or correct problems that may cause unsafe or unhealthy conditions.
The code applies to all housing in your city or county. It can be very helpful to renters and homeowners. You can use the housing code to complain about bad housing conditions and other neighborhood problems.
